Book excerpt: In nineteenth-century Europe, music was an important tool to cultivate a national culture. Particularly opera became a widespread emblem of national identity. In the German-speaking world, however, a national musical culture was often formulated as opposing the operatic cultures of Italy and France, associated with Roman culture, entertainment, and frivolity. On the contrary, instrumental and church music genres were deemed to exhibit elements of a German national identity such as seriousness, profundity, and complexity. At the same time, a part of the German musical world desired to have a native German opera tradition, embodying these German characteristics while simultaneously being dramatically effective and musically enjoyable. These composers, librettists, and critics were confronted with what I have coined as the 'German Opera Problem': the question how to formulate an operatic national identity in a music culture that in many cases was articulated in opposition to opera? This question forms a thread throughout this dissertation, which chiefly investigates answers and solutions formulated by composers, librettists, and opera critics in a vast body of nineteenth-century music journals, as well as in the creation of operas themselves. Each of the six chapters focuses on a sub-aspect of the larger German Opera Problem and/or illuminates an important stage in the formulation of a German operatic national identity and its concrete realization in the form of operatic works. Themes are: German opera and Romanticism, the endurance of a Singspiel esthetic, musical style, German opera abroad, operas on political-historical themes, and Richard Wagner's appropriation of the German operatic legacy..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concert halls all over the world feature mostly the works of German and Austrian composers as their standard repertoire: composers like the three "Bs" of classical music, Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms, all of whom are German. Over the past three centuries, many supporters of German music have even nurtured the notion that the German-speaking world possesses a peculiar strength in the cultivation of music. This book brings together seventeen contributors from the fields of musicology, ethnomusicology, history, and German literature to explore these questions: how music came to be associated with German identity, when and how Germans came to be regarded as the "people of music," and how music came to be designated "the most German of arts." Unlike previous volumes on this topic, many of which focused primarily on Wagner and Nazism, the essays here are wide-ranging and comprehensive, examining philosophy, literature, politics, and social currents as well as the creation and performance of folk music, art music, church music, jazz, rock, and pop. The result is a striking volume, adeptly addressing the complexity and variety of ways in which music insinuated itself into the German national imagination and how it has continued to play a central role in the shaping of a German identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the lives and works of Verdi and Wagner as well as their respective legacies to the present day, written by a noted cultural critic. This is the first book to compare these two composers and cultural heroes, both of whom were born in 1813 and achieved huge national and inter- national renown in their lifetimes. Yet not only did they never meet, but the differences between them—in music, culture, environment, significance, and legacy—were profound. Peter Conrad begins his tale in a public park in Venice, home to a pair of statues of the composers that are positioned so as to appear to shun each other. This provides a fitting starting point for his argument that they represent two opposite yet equally integral and compelling dimensions of European culture: north versus south, cerebral versus sensual, proud solitude versus human connection, epic mythmaking versus humane magnanimity. The book is a richly argued tour de force that engages passionately and profoundly with music, biography, history, politics, philosophy, psychology, and culture in the broadest sense. As Conrad concludes, “At one time or another, if not simultaneously, we still need the two contradictory, complementary kinds of music that Verdi and Wagner left us.”

Book excerpt: Ulrich Weisstein, an international authority in the fields of comparative literature and comparative arts, has been a pioneer paving the way for present-day intermedia studies. Among his broad intermedial interests opera has always held a central place. For the first time this volume makes available his major contributions to opera criticism in compact form, thus meeting a serious scholarly demand. The necessarily stringent selection of essays from Professor Weisstein's large output on opera, reflecting fifty years of involvement with the genre, is primarily governed by the wish to present texts that are representative of their author's work and, at the same time, are unlikely to be readily available through other channels. The fourteen essays collected are arranged in chronological order, some of them showing Ulrich Weisstein as an initiator of librettology, others tracing adaptive processes extending from textual sources to final operas, or investigating writer/composer collaborations. Further topics are satirical reflections on operatic activities in early-eighteenth-century Italy and practices of opera censorship, artist operas or definitions of romantic and epic opera. The essays are written in an accessible, essentially non-technical language and are expected to make both a profitable and a pleasurable reading for literary scholars as well as musicologists and general art lovers.
